The Great Divergence brings new insight to one of the classic questions of history: Why did sustained industrial growth begin in Northwest Europe, despite surprising similarities between advanced areas of Europe and East Asia? As Ken Pomeranz shows, as recently as 1750, parallels between these two parts of the world were very high in life expectancy, consumption, product and factor markets, and the strategies of households. Perhaps most surprisingly, Pomeranz demonstrates that the Chinese and Japanese cores were no worse off ecologically than Western Europe. Core areas throughout the eighteenth-century Old World faced comparable local shortages of land-intensive products, shortages that were only partly resolved by trade.

Pomeranz argues that Europe's nineteenth-century divergence from the Old World owes much to the fortunate location of coal, which substituted for timber. This made Europe's failure to use its land intensively much less of a problem, while allowing growth in energy-intensive industries. Another crucial difference that he notes has to do with trade. Fortuitous global conjunctures made the Americas a greater source of needed primary products for Europe than any Asian periphery. This allowed Northwest Europe to grow dramatically in population, specialize further in manufactures, and remove labor from the land, using increased imports rather than maximizing yields. Together, coal and the New World allowed Europe to grow along resource-intensive, labor-saving paths.

Meanwhile, Asia hit a cul-de-sac. Although the East Asian hinterlands boomed after 1750, both in population and in manufacturing, this growth prevented these peripheral regions from exporting vital resources to the cloth-producing Yangzi Delta. As a result, growth in the core of East Asia's economy essentially stopped, and what growth did exist was forced along labor-intensive, resource-saving paths--paths Europe could have been forced down, too, had it not been for favorable resource stocks from underground and overseas.

时尚的塑造——大分流读后感 大分流是我读的第三本英文原著,虽然有中文译本,而且翻译的也不错,但是为了练习英语我还是选择了读英文本,然后情况往往是读着读着就迷失了,不知所云,更找不到逻辑,此时,只好在拿着中文本的对照一下,最要命的对于这方面的背景和积累很少。以...

今天中國經濟史結課還是挺感慨的,本科課程基本結束,但對許多問題的糾結和思考,大概纔剛剛開始。希望未來還能糾結很久。感謝大梁神上課盡職盡責地把這本書復述瞭一遍,不然大概沒毅力細讀;也要深深感激送我這本書的童鞋=D

今天那些喜歡說“在中國”就是會發生很多爛事,“在西方”就會發生很多好事的人,未來大概還會齣現一本這樣的書告訴你其實都一樣。甚至西方不如中國,這時小琥阿姨就會齣來唱一首:“沒~那麼簡單~”
